Thanks Stacy
I like it used as ferrule material with natural color maple burl handle for kitchen knives.

Only 3 blocks left.

That's right, I have BO again and I wanted to make sure that all of you know about it.
I'm not talking about normal BO. This is the ancient Ukrainian Black BO.
Don't believe me, well I can prove it.

This is BO that is so old that mammoths were still around and the pyramids were just a construction zone.

When I get BO like this it usually goes away in about a day.
But I am prepared. When the BO is gone, I will do a quick clean up and then I will have BO again.

Yes.......I am easily entertained and I laugh at my own jokes.

For those of you who are wondering what in the heck I am talking about.
These are 5460 year old blocks of stabilized Bog Oak from the Ukraine.
They have been professionally stabilized by K&G, and come with a copy of the carbon dating report for this wood.
I just finished adding a dozen new blocks of the Bog Oak to our web store.
If they are all gone before you get a chance to get any, don't worry, I have a few more.
When these are all gone, I will clean up another batch and add some more.

Hi I was recommended your site I'm in the uk would you be willing to cut blocks you have to matchbook scales ? And would there be extra cost I'm not asking about these ones , but your blocks in general thank you.

Any block can be cut into scales at no additional charge.
Just make a note during check out so it does not get overlooked.

I wish you would have been here to see Angi's face and subsequent laughter the other day when I told her that you posted how excited you are, on the forum--- to have BO!

One of these days you will actually see her laugh, when you come to the thriving metropolis of CR, Washington...aka The Gateway to Mt. St. Helens. Yep, that's right, I figured out why you haven't come up here yet!!! Toooooooo close to le montaine!

I WILL be getting more of your BO Mark. It's awesome BO. And as long as I don't breathe it in while work, your BO is really nice to work with.

(yea yea, too cheesy.... yet still somehow funny)

BTW- That's pretty ironic... if you end up sending some back across the ocean.
